I would search the theads but I believe you can odin back to jfd. use the jfd tar file and 512 pit. I am not positive but I believe you can do it this way. I recently went from custom rom running 2.2.1 back to ji6 and have odined back to jfd before. I would seek more opinions before attempting though.
are you wanting to go back to a 2.2 rom?
I think he wants to go back to 2.1

I'm running the DJ29 2.2 ROM and have been unable to fix my GPS with any of the fixes I've read. Flashing back to 2.1 and then to 2.2 works for a day, but then the GPS fails to lock. So, I understand that the 2.1 DI18 modem.bin is compatible with 2.2. However, I've never flashed a modem. I have used ODIN before to go back to stock, but if someone could please lay out detailed steps on the process of flashing just the DI18 modem.bin over my current 2.2 ROM, that would be excellent.
Thanks,
-Rob
If you were running DI18 before you flashed the DJ29 rom you should still have the DI18 modem since there was no modem.bin for dj29.What does your baseband say in about phone?
...
Aha! It says DI18 still. Thanks for the help.

Hey noob question here. I flashed the viper rom and I don't like it . How do I unflash it, as in make things back to normal.
The obvious answer would be use your backup if you made one. If not you can flash a different rom. If you decide to flash a 2.1 rom you'll need to flash a 2.1 kernel as well. If you want to go back to stock I would just odin back to stock. Instructions here:

except use the file from this post:

I would consider something like the acs dk17 because it's completely stable and it is essentially the same as a 2.1 stock rom but it has the capabilities of 2.2. Going back to 2.1 would (to me) be the same as using a stock dk17 rom like acs, which I'm using right now and loving. Two cents.
odin
Is there only one type of odin because the link you gave me for restoring had a broken odin download link. I see another odin download that's for the acs dk17 and was wondering if it'll be the same.
Yeah you can use the new odin. If for some reason that fails pm me and I'll give you the old version of odin.

He asked for a stock ROM, why suggest that?
You can find KA6 stock here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
Apply using ODIN.
OP, not to sound rude... just look in the dev section for the ODIN and CWR flashable versions.

Just to back the OP a litte...
I'm not even sure what the stock 2.2 is. All this talk of KA6 and KA7 and on top of that all the leaked or not... and people tossing out flash this rom or flash that rom.. it gets confusing when your not used to this. If you go in to the developers section and look, nothing is labeled "stock 2.2 cwm flash able" and when you search for it, you get a bunch of old links to non official 2.2.
I never looked for it till OP asked. I'm happy with the rom im running right now, but I feel your confusion OP.
Edit:
There is also usually at least one clear cut thread on how to get the update and how to root the update. Maybe ill put this together.
yeah some people might need the stock rom to make warranty claims.
I would sure love to know why it is being said that KA7 is "official froyo OTA." I don't believe I have heard Samsung or T-mobile even mention KA7 so how would anyone know?
Again, this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
contains the file to ODIN that will get you to exactly where you would get if you upgraded via mini kies.
In other words, ODIN that file and you will be on "current stock version"

So right now there is no flashable version of the official stock 2.2?
is the build number supposed to be dh12? i was expecting di01 dj05 or dl09. i just wanna make sure the phone is perfect so i can send it back through warranty without being charged any money. Thank you
DH12 was the original. You should be able to OTA to DL09.
If all you care about is just getting a stock OS on the phone for warranty / RMA purposes, then any stock ROM should work.
But if it somehow benefits you, you can download a DL09 package that can be flashed directly through Odin. You can easily find links in the Development forum here.

not entirely true.. CWM would also need to removed so he would have to do a full odin restore to flash the stock kernel, rom, and recovery.
as stated above though, just do an OTA update and youll be updated to DL09
Thanks for the replies youre all a great help

My wife has had it with her Vibrant running a 2.3.5 CM7 based ROM not having working GPS. I figured I would put her back to a stock but rooted ROM.
Is this possible? I have used ODIN before, so that is not an issue. I am having a hard time finding an original ROM to download.
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!!!

I was on Simply Honey and I ODIN back to stock (eclair).
I use the "GBBOOT-T959UVJFD.tar" (see link below, file is in 2nd post) and the 512 pit file. Make sure to check Re-Partition only, leave the other boxes UNCHECKED.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156832
I followed s15274n guide, (link below) to root and install any rom. I used option B to root and update rom. I installed Trigger as I was on this prior to CM7 and found it to be the most stable.
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...-*-tricks-*-ninja-apps-*-everything#post11383
So I cannot just download the stock ROM and ODIN back to it? Because of the GB bootloaders?

Use this method. It'll clean out any ghosts of old roms, and put you back on jk2 froyo with root and busybox. It should also put you back on froyo bootloader. I do this between every flash now.

Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick (FTDNB)
I have posted about it in several threads, including my own, so I figured I would finally put it in a central location. This is my FTDNB method for starting with a fresh, clean phone, without any ghosts of roms past popping up to cause you issues.
Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3
The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.
Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.

Then if you want rooted stock then flash or odin kb5 froyo found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I would suggest flashing a custom froyo rom like ZenDroid, Trigger 3.2, or Project V though.

I gave up on that gps on the vibrant just buy her a bluetooth gps receiver. I should have done this long time ago.
Ok, I got it downgraded to 2.1 and then up to 2.2. How do I get the official stock 2.2.1 ROM for it? I have been looking around, but cannot find it for download. What is the best procedure for rooting 2.2?

I believe the latest official stock for Vibrant is 2.2 kb5. You can root using Z4root on your phone or Super One Click from your computer. Or you can use Rom Manager to put CWM on you're phone and flash the pre-rooted stock kb5 from the thread I posted above.
